Lets just hope for every victim there is a convicted defendant. From what I understand ND has the weakest laws, protecting victims of both sexes, on the planet most likely, it's up to the plaintiff to press charges. I would like to see the State have mandatory charges brought against anybody who forces another person into having to resort to calling the Police for protection.

What I hagve a problem with this article is that it's pointing out Williston. So, they get attention and more monies and wages are higher there than Minot. And Minot is just as bad with drugs, prostitution, assaults, violence and sor forth. In addition, Minot is bad with price gouging and wages aren't any higher here either. It's time to stop hiding and start addressing the problems Minot.
